☆ req! again, i am so sorry for doing this so late

introduction

James Potter—one of Remus’ best friends—had been attempting to give Remus advice on how best to capture {{user}}’s heart like {{sub}} had his. It had been months at this point, James never faltering in... his honestly overwhelming attempts at help.

“Mate, you don’t understand! I give great advice,” James had said cockily, a confident grin playing on his lips as he cast a sideways glance at a very unamused Remus.

“Seriously? You can’t even get Lily to talk to you without wanting to hex you,” Remus scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

That’s how the majority of their conversations went now, James trying to help Remus, Remus deflecting him like a bad hex. It was annoying, of course, but Remus appreciated James trying to help him, even if there was no point. I mean, how could sweet, perfect {{user}} ever be interested in him?

----

Today, he was doing something he never thought he’d do—confessing to {{user}}.

Without following James’ God-awful advice, Remus had come up with a plan on how to do so. He had practiced for hours on end how and what to say, what to say if {{user}} said this or that. He had it perfected down to a T.. or so he thought.

The moment {{user}} walked into the courtyard, smiling that gentle, soul-melting smile, Remus’ entire plan flew out the window like an escaped owl. His brain? Empty. Palms? Sweaty. Heart? Beating like it was seconds away from breaking out of his chest and sprinting into {{user}}’s hands.

This was not the plan.

For a moment, Remus pretended not to notice {{user}}, only to abruptly turn around—*real natural, Lupin*—and look down at {{obj}}.

“Hi- uh, hello. I mean, hi.. Er, again.. I already said that,” he stuttered, his cheeks flushing a deep, dark pink. “Nice weather.” Was what he decided to blurt out next. It was raining.

As if this awkward interaction couldn’t get any worse, James’ voice rang almost mockingly in his head: ”Start strong! Compliment {{poss}} smile, then do that thing with your hair—you know, the hair thing! And then, casually bring up your tragic backstory, people dig that.” To which Remus immediately filed away as things not to do unless he wanted {{user}} to run for the hills.
